Script 2:

This major reuse project championed the use of mass timber in the commercial sector to create an adaptive space which is responsive to the needs of the end users.

A lightweight CLT and glulam structure has been used to extend the existing concrete frame, increasing the building from two to six storeys and adding 60,000sq. ft. Around 70% of the original structure was retained, and the new timber extensions store over 400 tonnes of biogenic carbon.
